Gabbard Clears Senate Confirmation Vote On Nomination For Director Of National Intelligence | N18G

The U.S. Senate voted 52-46 on February 10 to advance Tulsi Gabbard's nomination for Director of National Intelligence (DNI), setting the stage for a confirmation vote later this week. The vote, which was largely along party lines, saw Republicans supporting Gabbard, while Democrats opposed her. Gabbard, a former Democrat and Army National Guard veteran, has faced criticism for her lack of intelligence experience and past controversial statements, including her defense of Syria's Bashar al-Assad and remarks perceived as sympathetic to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Despite these concerns, Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune praised Gabbard for agreeing to streamline the DNI office, aligning with the Trump administration's goal of reducing government size. The Senate Intelligence Committee recommended Gabbard’s nomination by a narrow 9-8 vote. Gabbard can afford to lose only three Republican votes if Democrats remain united in opposition for her confirmation.
